I've had a bug with command and conquer games on my windows 7 laptop, making them barely playable, as the menu screens seem to not refresh. Now if you don't have another monitor connected, follow the instructions on this forum: Īlternatively, if you are using a separate monitor like I am, which I believe is why I don't have the option "Try to connect anyway on: VGA", then just select "Extend these displays" on the "Multiple Displays" drop down menu and that should work.Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) There should be an option called "Multiple Displays". Lastly, right click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution".
Use notepad to open it) and you should find something like this:įrom what I gather you can change the resolution here if you don't want it to be 800圆00, but it's what I prefer and I know, at least for me, that this resolution works. Once you've done that, open ra2.ini (also in your Red Alert 2 directory. exe in your Red Alert 2 directory (and Yuri's Revenge if applicable) to run in compatibility mode and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)", then tick the run as administrator box and apply. Next repeat what you've already done: change each and every. The more tech-savvy might be able to explain what that means and that reinstalling may not be necessary, but it might be easiest just to start afresh in case you accidentally edited something important.
I will explain which solutions worked for me and hopefully they will help you too:įirstly, in regards to "FATAL String Manager failed to initialize properly", I would reinstall the game. This problem seems to span over all different versions of Windows, graphics cards and versions of Red Alert 2 so you are not alone! I had the same graphics issues (I am using Windows 7 and C&C First Decade) and through some simple fixes Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge now work perfectly.
